Mike and my best friend might get along, not long ago he catwalked his 1300gsxr in the middle lane during city street night traffic, with no feet on pegs and ass on seat. Effing psycho lol

 

Who cares about this build. Nicks got his car back. So much better of a story

 

Yes defi.ately, good for him!

 

Edit nm i figured it out lol

 

Trans is on.

 

Buttoned a lot of stuff up today.

Still gotta put on the subframe, then bleed the clutch before putting blablabla back on.

 

And heres the new ottp trans mount!

Heres a pic comparing the two, side by side. The stock one is brand new as well. The second and third pics show how much i can bend either with my bare hand. Ott is a big difference...

 

Subframe is on

Clutch is bled

Intercooler system with option b all plumbed up

A few other things bolted up

Got a bit more to do like the fusebox and such,

Think im just gonna wait till i get the gmpp axles and a brand new halfshaft to button up the suspension and jack the car down finally

Oh also still gotta make new headlights lol. Gonna be needing those...

 

Nice! You've been pretty busy

 

Def interested in how the OTTP mount works for you

 

Heck yes been busy since friday night haha. Been breathing through a gas heater and brake cleaner all weekend

 

Ps is anyone familiar with where the ground wire for the starter goes, as well as the other engine/trans ground wires? I think one goes like behind where the ocm mounts and another goes kinda by the drivers headlight but im hardpressed to remember where.

Also got a red 2 prong plug at the top rear of the valve cover that as of now i have no clue where it came from and there isnt much wire to out it anywhere... lol

 

Those grounds go to the stud bolt that is trans to engine.

That plug goes directly into the back left top corner of the fuse box.

 

Oh so i gotta undo that trans to engine bolt otherwise i think i lost that bolt that goes over the stud

 

When you pull the harnesses under the fusebox, do the fuses stay in the black top cover? Ive seen all the how to's on the fusebox, but no one mentions that. So if I pull the harnesses off the bottom of the fusebox, the fuses stay planted In the black cover?

 

Yes. They stay.

No. Go buy one.

It's a 18mm outer but I don't know the pitch or inner M

 

Kthx

 

this is why i label every plug i pull. saves me a ton of headache when doing swaps or just pulling things

 

They can only go so far to reach where they need to be.

 

I managed to pull the f23 upper Trans mount with the engine/Trans in. Haha wasn't fun, but I got it.

 

Damn that takes ***** haha

 

The trans was in the way of it sliding out, so i had to unbolt the upper engine mount and jack that side up to lower the trans. Sketchy haha. but its on the way to josh tomorrow

it was my first time pulling the fusebox, so that was interesting.

I pulled the a/c condenser as well, and all the lines while I was dicking around trying to get the mount out. For those that fully detete the a/c, how do you block off the port at the firewall? I was just going to cut the lines off, cap them, and then bolt them back in. is this pretty standard? I dont plan on reversing obviously haha

Also, I plan on pulling the wires for the compressor clutch and the sensor on the line. Will a code be thrown if the ac sensor doesnt see pressure? Is it a display code like "service airbag", or is it a cel?


Now I just need to drain the coolant so I can get the head pulled and see how bad I blew this turd up haha

 

Well i just pulled my broken condenser out and undid the lines. There's still a hard line running from the firewall towards the drivers headlight i just let it hang there. Never plugged anything; if i ever want ac again i know i have a long journey ahead of me because im sure the lines are all full of dust now. So unless you are sure about never going back to having a.c., plug it up nicely with something.

Oh yeah and working around the fusebox deals fuggin blows. Lol

 

did you throw a code with no pressure in the lines? Im not sure if its to sense that there is pressure (and read a "service a/c" if not), or to shutoff the compressor if there is too much pressure. The latter would be optimal, but i'm not sure

 

Oh yes i kept getting a code. P0422 i think? Or p1142 i forget. I gotta remember to get that deleted when i see al haha. Id keep clearing it with my interceptor but was kind of annoying.
